Throughout the year some classes had interesting speakers from the business world come in to tell the students what was expected of them in the ways of skill and attitude. While in advanced business classes, former business students were invited back to tell the present students about their jobs and what it was like in the business world. In accounting and other business classes students learned how to prepare their income tax returns in time to submit them early in January, so their refunds would be sent back to them early as possible.
